Thor: Ragnarok’s Resident Wild Card

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Thor: Ragnarok looks to be the most intriguing release thus far, and most of the reason for it are due to idiosyncratic director Taiki Waititi.

He’s the director of quirky dramedies like Eagle vs Shark and What We Do In The Shadows and if the trailer he released at ComicCon is any indicator he intends to bring his unique sensibilities and extremely skewed sensibilities to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And that’s a little scary because its hard to predict where he will take things.

He’s either going to create something that’s off the charts brilliant, or that’s so odd that it might not connect with a wider audience easily.

Either way, it’s going to be fascinating.

And if that weren’t enough, Mark Mothersbaugh is doing the music. He’s done soundtracks for everything from television shows to movies, but I’ll always remember him for the Rugrats theme song.
